I know I recently got back into the dating game but I’m not sure how I feel about this latest trend I’m seeing – sex dolls under $500. I’m not one for materialistic thought or presents in general, but this just feels like people are a bit too desperate. I mean, it’s one thing if you’re looking to spice up your sex life. But why then go for a sex doll, why not just invest some money in things that make you happy and invest in a good time?

That being said, it’s pretty hard to ignore how popular these sex dolls are becoming. Everyone is starting to talk about them, discussing their sizes and features and prices. It’s kind of disconcerting, but I also get why people might be tempted. After all, they’re relatively cheap – I mean, $500 for a lifelike sex doll? Doesn’t sound half bad.

But when I really think about it, what am I actually getting with one of these dolls? Are they just a temporary solution, a band-aid to cover up any relationship wants or needs? Is that really what I want for myself? I think it’s important to ask yourself these questions before you go ahead with any of these purchases.

At the end of the day though, it’s all up to personal preference. If someone is willing to accept that all these sex dolls are just fillers, just temporary stop-gaps between human relationships, then sure they can go ahead and blow their money. If someone wants the companionship of a doll, and is willing to accept that this won’t do anything to help them in the long run, that’s their choice too.

But I honestly believe, that if someone is really interested in the topic and willing to blow their money, they should be spending more than $500. After all, these dolls come with many features including elaborate voice systems and even skin that can detect touch. You can pay a lot more for that kind of technology if you look around the right way.

Still, if someone is just looking to spice up their bedroom activities and doesn’t mind the convenience of a sex doll without any extra features, then sure – under $500 is doable. But overall, I believe it’s important to weigh in the amount of time, effort and money that you’ll be spending.

And this is a decision that everyone needs to make for themselves. Maybe it’s time to close off the research you’re doing and actually talk to your partner. Communicate, get intimate and don’t be scared to have a look around and find the solution that works best for the two of you.

Expansion 1:

What’s more, buying a sex doll can be a bit of a gamble. I mean, you’re not sure if you’ll be getting a good one or a bad one, or if it’ll hold up to the wear and tear. After all, no one wants a doll that barely works and serves as little more than a conversation piece. And you can’t even actually try them out, so you don’t really know if they’re actually going to fit your needs.

Plus, these dolls may not feel so lifelike. I mean, yes, you might get a few that have the movement of a real person, but there’s no way it could ever feel like the real thing. Sure you could get the little extras like the touch detection systems, but it’s still not the same and you still need to be able to pay for it.

It can be tempting to just settle for the cheapest sex dolls, but I think it may not always be the best idea. Not only are you not sure of the quality, but you’re also paying for something that might not last. And speaking of which, many of these dolls come with a hefty price tag for repair parts, which could be a real pain in the neck if you’re on a budget.

Expansion 2:

Then there’s the issue of actually using the sex doll. I mean, even if you do manage to get a good one, it’s still not an ideal situation. Not only do you feel a bit like you’re alone when you’re using it, but you also don’t really get the intimacy you would usually feel with a real person. And sure, some of these dolls come with voice mimicry systems or even a few pre-programmed responses, but it’s still not the same.

And then there’s also the worry of having to clean the doll up after use. I mean, they may have supposedly been made with easy to clean materials and textures, but you never really know what sort of damage you might incur during those moments of ‘passion’. And then you’re going to have to deal with the odors and stains of a used sex object – not the most pleasant of tasks.

That being said, if you were the sort of person who was comfortable with these issues, then sure – a sex doll under $500 could work for you. That being said, I think it’s still useful to take a few moments to consider if this is really the option you want to go for.

Expansion 3:

Speaking of which, if you’re looking for a way to spruce up your sex life, then there are cheaper things you can do other than buying a sex doll. I mean, this really is an understatement, but there’s a lot of things you can do to spice up a bedroom that won’t cost you anywhere close to $500.

You could go for the conventional options, like buying a few sex toys that are designed for the purpose of giving you or your partner pleasure. Or you could get creative and try out some new sex positions that involve little to no money. You could even surprise your partner with a romantic dinner at home – sure it might be a bit of work to make it, but it’s definitely doable and will fill your partner’s heart with joy.

And that’s before we even start talking about foreplay. I mean, there’s a whole range of ways to express intimacy and passion between two people, and there’s no reason to resort to a sex doll when there are so many other options to choose from. Sure, you’re probably going to have to invest a bit more time and effort into these, but it’s definitely worth the pay off.

Expansion 4:

I also believe that it would be beneficial to your relationship to go for a more natural way of spicing things up – as compared to investing in something so artificial as a sex doll. I mean, if you really want to improve your relationship and develop a healthier bond between you and your partner, then conversations and understanding is probably the way to go.

This will take plenty of patience and a willingness to try new things, but it’s a positive investment into the future of your relationship. Instead of buying a sex doll, why not try to learn something completely new, sex dolls something you and your partner can both enjoy and learn from?

And if you still want the aspect of being intimate without having a real person to be intimate with, why not try investing some money into a digital version of a sex doll? I mean, there are plenty of video game adaptations or even apps and programs that you can use to simulate sexual pleasures without spending close to $500 on a physical doll.

Still, the decision ultimately lies with you. All I’m saying is that it should really be up to the individual to decide what they’re more comfortable with. So I hope this helps you weigh the pros and cons of investing in a sex doll under $500, and whether it would work for you or not.
